Info zu Handel: Orlando

Just as in Alcina and Ariodante, Handel's Orlando was inspired by Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando furioso. Orlando is desperately in love with the pagan princess Angelica, who is in turn in love with an African prince; in this hopeless situation Orlando is driven to madness from which only the magician Zoroastro can save him. Handel wrote this 'opera seria in tre atti' for a small orchestra of only five soloists when he was at the height of his opera career. As the theme appealed more to the aristocracy than the middle classes, the work was only moderately successful in the 18th century, but since its rediscovery in the 20th century it has become one of the most frequently performed operas, in particular due to its incredible scene of madness. The use of period instruments conducted by the great Handel expert and baroque specialist René Jacobs goes hand in hand with the contemporary interpretation of stage director Pierre Audi.

„The success that Jacobs has achieved could never have happened without the sheer vitality of his music making.“ (The New York Times)

„One thing is for sure: whether you like Baroque opera or not, you will never be bored by an opera conducted by René Jacobs. By shaking up convention with his subtle readings, sometimes even rewriting the composer s score, the Belgian conductor is the one of those rare few who always find an elegant way to bring the repetitive mannerisms of the Baroque to life.“ (Bachtrack.com)

„The title role, written for the legendary castrato Senesino, is sung by its finest modern exponent, Bejun Mehta, one of the most commanding, exhilarating countertenors of the modern era.“ (New York Times)
